It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

The Cape Cod Guys took a day to visit...the three of them have held PW parties at their homes.

Member FoxyW (foxy woman!!!) has only been playing for about a year, and shared a nice Ecossaise.

Beelady has had her hands full caring for a Shriner's Burn Baby and brought her along for us to meet. So sweet, and although she doesn't understand English, she understood music and bounced her head back and forth to the rhythm.

You attendees need to help me out with his name please - I enjoyed his playing and conversation...

Soon to be member Evelyn shyly played at first...then wowed us with several pieces (was it the wine?). She is anxious to meet other PW members and is joining.

I remembered I had taken one important pic that our on-site party photographer wouldn't have been able to take of herself!

Thanks for all the great photos and write-ups, LL!!

Very classy group photo Larry! thanks for not letting that one slip by.

Special thanks to Larry for allowing this fantastic event to take place. There are lots of behind-the-scenes prep in making a piano shop gathering friendly. Given Larry's hectic schedule of work related activities, I find it outstanding that he gave up a Saturday to go the extra mile for our gathering.

Seeing the pic of our Cape Cod guests brought on a bit of nostalgia when I recalled the first time meeting them was at the 2004 M&H factory tour. Who would have ever thought 5 years later we would have experienced such a variety of gatherings and bonded in friendship due to an online piano forum!

Thank you to all who brought along food items & beverages. Your assistance was very much appreciated.

For those who were attending for the first time, I hope the gathering was what you were expecting and then some.

I do believe the piano was played from the very beginning and until we started wrapping up around 7pm at which time John Citron played his heart out at my request.

Seems to have been such a fun event. The fact I was so nearby makes having to miss it even worse. My wife and I had long standing anniversary plans to see Adam Neiman play in Hyannis that day. He was very good, btw. But I'm resolving to make the next Cape Cod piano party no matter what it takes.

Thank you so much for hosting such a fun party! My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon and enjoyed meeting new friends and also enjoyed hearing everyone play. As a relatively new piano player, I was thrilled to have an opportunity to play a short piece I had just finished learning (Beethoven's Ecossaise in G) for such a supportive audience and on the beautiful Schimmel grand piano. We're looking forward to attending more PW gatherings in the future.
